Item Description
4.5x5.5" from an extensive c. 1950s series of "Official Hopalong Cassidy Cards by Buzza Cardozo" (see item #1386). This particular card is of note to non-sports card collectors as on the interior is an attached unopened wax pack of Topps Hoppy gum cards, ACC# R712-2. This is the 1¢ white background variety wrapper. Nice card art of boy and girl in Hoppy-inspired outfits w/die-cut opening on front over the wax pack (and inside serves as a gum bubble). Clever "Gum" related birthday greeting text. Blank reverse has trace of adhesive staining where pack is attached, however the card remains NM as does the pack itself. Comes w/original plain mailing envelope. Lot also comes w/additional wax paper wrapper (creases as folded but Fine) and six cards from the 230 card base set (VG to Exc.).
